    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar hilariously explores his concerns about using pirate and sailing terminology around his baby. Natty worries that his salty sailor talk – including phrases about swabbing the deck, keelhauling, and walking the plank – might be inappropriate for his young child. He shares funny moments of doing his Popeye impression and contemplates whether teaching his son about nautical knots and maritime language will cause problems at school. The episode delivers Natty's signature improvisational comedy as he navigates the challenges of parenthood while maintaining his colorful vocabulary.

    Memorable Quotes

    “Excuse me teacher but i'm going to have to ask you to walk the plank i don't want him to do that”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I'll look to my wife and i'll say avast you squabbies get that baby out of the room before i keelhaul him”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Don't worry bumper podcast i would never keelhaul you you're my best friend”

    About This Episode

    In this mobile episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar and executive producer dog Urban Brown Socks take the show on the road after being kicked out of headquarters for being too rowdy. Walking through puddles and discussing conspiracy theories about "them" watching from above, Natty accidentally records 40 minutes of audio during their walk around the block. The episode features Natty's musings about creating a year's worth of content from one walk, puddle-averse dogs, and the importance of their friendship with listeners. It's a casual, experimental episode that showcases the improvisational and slightly chaotic nature of the Bumperpodcast.

    About This Episode

    In this absurdist episode of Bumperpodcast, the puppet cast finds themselves in a hilarious spiral of confusion about communication itself. Aloysious J. Pig, Natty Bumpercar, Doodle Poodle, Turkey, and Rufus T. Rufus engage in a circular conversation where everyone asks if anyone knows what anyone is saying. The result is a comedic exercise in miscommunication, with Rufus T. Rufus declaring he's "pretty sure [he doesn't] like it" and Aloysious pointing out that nothing was actually said at all. This short, improvisational episode showcases the show's signature silly humor and absurdist style.
